Religious StudiesGeneral overview & picture: We believe that Religious Studies gives pupils a vital chance to explore the deepest and most exacting mysteries concerning the purpose and meaning of life as self conscious beings. We take a critical realist approach and tackle the most difficult questions about religion head on; where does the truth lie and the significance of belief. It is partly due to this non-doctrinal teaching philosophy that pupils increasingly seek to study the subject to the highest levels. The department recognises the diversity of religious belief, in the community and the school, and seeks to treat each belief system on an equal basis creating an atmosphere of tolerance and mutual respect among pupils. Our approach to learning centres on engaging pupils with lessons that are rich in resources and insights which are delivered by highly skilled and dedicated teachers committed to the standard of excellence. We promote rigorous academic learning, fun in lessons and controversial contemporary ethical debate. We teach as wide a variety of religious belief as possible reflecting the nature of religious belief around the world and take a thematic approach to explore the reoccurring and universal motifs of human existence. We seek to incorporate guest speakers, cross curricular links, school trips to local places of worship and the international dimension to our department's contribution to the school.
